Gimme a song I know, something I can relate to
|
People never criticise the way I play
|
Show me the way to go, I need to make a breakthrough
|
I don't think that I can wait another day
|
|
It's putting years on me, I'm a young man going grey
|
I don't believe that I can wait another day
|
|
This simple melody is all I have
|
I make my living that way
|
I make good friends that way
|
Ooh, I really can make no sense of it, as hard as I try
|
Is it something I do wrong please won't you tell me why
|
People all seem to like it and no one knows about it more than I
|
|
I met a man today who walked in my direction
|
Stopped took off his hat and lit a cigarette
|
He listened carefully to what I had been playing
|
He threw a coin into my hat and walked away
|
|
Always play just what they want me to
|
Everybody wants the same song
|
If only I could do it in my own way
|
I feel such emotion, emotion, ooh, emotion, emotion, ooh
|
|
Say gimme a song I know, something I can relate to
|
And no one wants to criticise the way I play
|
I should just say no and play them what I want to
|
Cos I don't think that I can wait another day
|
|
It's putting years on me, I'm a young man going grey
|
I don't believe that I can wait another day
|
|
This simple melody is all I have
|
I make my living that way
|
I make good friends that way
|
They feel my emotion, emotion, ooh, ooh
|
emotion, emotion, ooh
|
